0040 rolling it out

S9+5 initially
Heading out for a while, but we will leave the recorder on you, redhat!
Thanks for the show!

Got a nice recording of the entire show, and listening to it today.  The signal strength held up quite well tonight, and here is the strength vs. time for the entire show.



The somewhat weaker reception prior to 19000 seconds would be WHYP.

Got XFM in Wyomissing with a fair signal.  A bit of noise and fading make it "fair."  SINPO 45343

I hear XFM here. The fades aren't so bad. Lots of signal. Difficult to tune with my meager usb.

Using my new antenna. A random wire. Its the remains of my horizontal loop that got taken out by a palm frond in last night's wind and rain storm. Then the branch of the tree that was supporting it got cracked so I had to cut the branch down.

S9 and pretty good audio.  Some selective fading, but good copy.
